Mencius - Book by Mencius
Mencius is a foundational Confucian text composed of dialogues and teachings attributed to the philosopher Mencius (Mengzi), who lived in the 4th century BCE. Expanding on Confucius’ ideas, Mencius argues that human nature is inherently good and that moral cultivation leads to virtuous leadership. He emphasizes benevolent governance, social harmony, and the Mandate of Heaven as the basis of legitimate rule. Through conversations with rulers and scholars, Mencius advocates for policies that promote the well-being of the people. His work remains essential in Confucian thought, influencing Chinese philosophy, politics, and ethics for centuries.Original Language: Chinese
